This is the ELI5 we all needed

Being a straight, white man /s

Apparently it wasn’t an immediate death. Ugh. How awful.

Cool superpower!

This is so cool! Is it like you’re imagining the text, or can you literally see it?

What about words that are muffled or too quiet?

How does it feel/look like when you’re in an area that’s packed with people? (Thank you in advance!)

I don’t think I’m tall enough for this ride, can I get off?

Yes

Anyone have a tl;Dr? Rather, an ELI5?

Spooky 😳

What’s MDM?

I hope classpass discloses its “credit system” more transparently once this goes through.

You have to give them your CC info before you can see how much any of the classes “cost” in credits. It’s so bad that there are several reddit threads dedicated to people asking for screenshots of class/credit costs in their local markets.

It’s like when I go to a store that doesn’t clearly display price tags. I assume it’s overpriced.

TL;DR

The FTC unveiled its final “click-to-cancel” rule, which requires businesses provide a way for consumers to cancel their subscriptions that is just as easy as it is to sign up. That includes everything from gym memberships to digital streaming and e-commerce to cable TV service.

…

The new rule, which goes into effect 180 days after it is published in the Federal Register, is meant to address common issues with subscription plans. That includes sellers that misrepresent facts about the product or service, those who make it difficult to cancel, and people who are billed even when they didn’t agree to pay, such as when a free trial ends.

…

“This rule now makes it clear that you can’t collect the customer’s billing information until after you’ve disclosed all the terms of relationship with them,” Brett said.

I read it as scrot-u-mass, but reading your comment made me realize we were both wrong and it’s scrotum-ass. Hooray for us!

Change is hard, but necessary.

I don’t even know what metabolic… Wait a minute, auto-complete suggested “metabolism”. Is it the study of metabolism?

What poor experiences are you having? …and in which communities?

2022 Rogers Communications outage

Date: July 8, 2022 @ 4:30 a.m. (EDT)

Duration: 15 hours to several days

Outcome: Disruption of internet and wireless phone service Government services disrupted 9-1-1 calls failing Nationwide loss of Interac debit services

The event spurred new government policies requiring all telecommunications providers to provide mutual assistance to each other in the event of an outage, offer emergency roaming service for rivals’ affected customers, and establish plans for how to communicate to the public about outages.

…

The outage was later said to be caused by a maintenance upgrade that caused routers to malfunction. A similar outage occurred in April 2021, which was attributed to a software update.

Trigger warning for anyone on the Rogers network
